Brookyn's Barclays Center will host another preseason game by the Islanders, who will move there with their new owners in 2015.

The NHL released a composite schedule today for its 15-day, 105-game 2014 preseason, which opens on Sunday, September 21. Included among the 11 markets that will host neutral site games are three of the leading contenders to acquire an expansion club: Las Vegas, Quebec City and Kansas City.

Nothing too surprising about those choices. All three have proved to be excellent hosts in the past, and their interest in joining the fraternity makes giving them another chance to prove their viability an easy call.

Quebec City gets to revisit what used to be the NHL's best rivalry when the Nordiques/Avalanche meet the Montreal Canadiens on Sept. 26. Vegas has the Colorado Avalanche vs. Los Angeles Kings on Oct. 4, and Kansas City hosts the Dallas Stars and St. Louis Blues on Sept. 27.
